one of my fav tropes is bitty not being aware of how hot he is
I’m not even gonna start this in the tags it is going straight to a long post idgaf
Bitty has a mirror. And a phone. And a snapchat and instagram. And a youtube. He knows he’s cute, maybe even ‘pretty’, which is nice and all. But there’s a fine line between being noticed for your looks and being desired for your looks.
So when people smile wider around him and offer to pay for his coffee, Bitty knows he’s cute. When he gets thousands of followers on instagram and verified on youtube and he has to tweak his snapchat notifications, he gets it. People will offer to walk him to class and ruffle his hair, but it’s only because he’s cute.
Even the nickname ‘Bitty’, as much as he loves it, sounds diminutive when put next to the rest of the team’s more… testosterone-dripped nomenclatures.
He certainly doesn’t think he’s hot, not in the way that Jack or Ransom or Holster are. They’re the image of masculine appeal, with their height and muscles and ability to grow facial hair. And Bitty has seen how others are affected by their presence in a way that people aren’t affected by his. Girls look down and play with their hair, they stammer and trip over their words. Boys shift from side to side and hide their hands in their pockets, go either very quiet or very loud with no in-between. Eyes widen and cheeks flush, breath stutters. Bitty once watched Ransom melt a girl in under a minute in line at Annie’s. Holster took it as a challenge and got a girl’s number in 30 seconds the next day. Nursey then took that as a challenge and got a boy AND a girl’s number in under a minute the next week.

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY HELPFUL I HAVE A CLASS WITH A NEW PROFESSOR TUESDAY AND HAD NO IDEA HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS THANK YOU
Victor calling Magnus and Alec “friends” is kind of funny to me because there’s no way he doesn’t know about them. There’s no way anybody in Idris hasn’t heard. The acting head of the New York institute left his fiancée Lydia Branwell and made out with the high warlock of Brooklyn AT HIS OWN WEDDING in front of like 50 clave representatives. Nice try Victor, but there’s no way you, Gossip King, has not heard of the Most Iconic Thing To Ever Happen In The Shadow World. You’re not fooling me.
Patrick Warburton: This character with which you’ve become infatuated is fucked, a word which here means “doomed beyond hope”, though it can also mean “recently engaged in intercourse.” However, Uncle Monty’s only lover is the study of Herpetology, an abstract concept that is difficult to achieve coitus with, and with Count Olaf on the loose, the usage of the word “fucked” lends itself much more easily to describing the untimely death that awaited him.
